‘The English are going nuts this week about the wedding – no, not Katie Price this time but Prince William,’ explains the column.

‘The typical Manc man is called Paul. He has darts in his right pocket and in his left pocket has a picture of a bulldog. The girls are called Samantha and you can find them on page three.

‘The typical national dish is lamb with mint sauce or potatoes with mutton and is always on the menu at every party.

Torres, who cost Chelsea £50m in the January transfer window, has not scored a goal since his move from Liverpool. But United boss Ferguson has sympathised with the dilemma that Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti is facing.

“I didn’t see how they could leave him out having signed him for that much money,” said Ferguson.

“It’s not working at moment but he’s young and there are more seasons.”

Ferguson added: “Chelsea had an opportunity to sign Torres and I can’t think of a club that would not have wanted the striker. It was a fantastic bit of business.”

Ferguson said: ‘I am all in favour of the competitions. The players should play in the major competitions; the European Championship, the World Cup.

‘But friendlies are a waste of time as far as I am concerned. We always say that. It is understandable for the coach. They have the players for a period when they can influence them and can build and shape their team.

‘I can understand that completely. But every time there are friendlies you get six or seven call offs. It is sometimes worthless for the manager to build on that because of the lack of players.’

Manager Gary Speed said Verheijen’s post, which was seen as criticising Bales’ club, Tottenham Hotspur, caused an “unnecessary problem”.

The stern words were delivered by Italy Football Federation president Giancarlo Abete after Balotelli was left out of the Azzurri’s Euro 2012 qualifier against Slovenia on Friday for breaching the team’s code of conduct while competing for his club.

Abete said: “Balotelli still has some problems and lacks continuity.

“He needs to mature and that has to be a personal choice.

“We hope he grows and that the focus is placed on his technical ability. He is a great champion of Italian football and will return to be a part of the national team.”

Talking after the game, in which City won 1-0 but lost the tie 2-1 on aggregate, Mancini said “I don’t think he’ll be in the squad. Mario thinks he could be a fantastic player. When he does something stupid like that, it’s difficult for me”.

Midfielder Nigel de Jong concurred with his manager. “He is a young boy of 20 and he has to learn from his mistakes,” said the Dutch international. “I told him. Everyone told him. He is still part of the squad and has a lot of potential. He is a very good player but has to realise, on a professional level, you sometimes have to change your mentality”.

Balotelli, 20, who suffers from a rare allergy to grass, was shown a straight red card for a high footed challenge on Goran Popov. Manchester City face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this Sunday and a loss would see them effectively out of the title race.

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that Fernando Torres, Michael Essien and Florent Malouda, all benched in the midweek 0-0 draw against FC Copenhagen, will start on Sunday. Ancelotti will be encouraged by better performances from Chelsea in recent weeks, including the 2-1 victory over Manchester United and the progression to the Champions League quarter final, and he will hope 50m signing Fernando Torres can finally score in a blue shirt.

“It’s important we win to clarify our position in the table”, said Ancelotti. “At the moment, our position is not so clear. After this game, it’ll be clear what we’re going to do in the Premier League.”

Roberto Mancini’s City men sit two points clear of Chelsea in the table and would like to cement their place in the top 4 with victory over the reigning champions. Mancini is somewhat of a nemesis for Ancelotti; City have won their last three games against Chelsea, continuing his good record against Ancelotti from when the pair were at AC and Inter respectively.

Whether Mancini adopts his familiar tactic against the bigger teams of playing for a 0-0, or goes with the slightly more adventurous style he used in the loss away at Manchester United, is a decision that comes after City’s exit from the Europe League to Dynamo Kiev, leaving them with only the Premier League to fight for.

Mario Balotelli is likely to be dropped from the City side following his petulant red card in the Europa League and David Luiz is expected back in the Chelsea side after being cup-tied against Copenhagen.

Whether both sides still stand a realistic chance of winning the title is arguable but neither team will want to lose points in the crucial run up to the end of the season. The extra days’ rest that Chelsea have before the game may prove decisive.

Manager Arsene Wenger initially stated that Djourou had dislocated his shoulder and would be out for the season but an assessment by the Swiss FA suggests otherwise, with a specialist’s judgement to delay a decision on an operation giving Djourou hope that he can play in the Gunners’ title run in.

“In my heart, I was initially hopeful because they said to me that I didn’t have a rupture and nothing was broken so I was thinking: ‘Brilliant, I can get back as quickly as possible,’” he told The Guardian. “But then we come to reality. When you dislocate a shoulder, it takes a lot of time. The thing with shoulders is that if you don’t operate and I played in a month, it could come out again.”

After a demoralising three weeks in which Arsenal have been eliminated from 3 out 4 competitions, Djourou still held hope of lifting the Premier League title in May: “We haven’t won for so long but we have got the quality and if we could get that first trophy, it could be the start of something new.”

“I was really upset about what happened in Denmark, when I saw the players saying ‘who is the captain?’,” he said.

“After one year of punishment, it was not the best moment for John Terry to see this. For that reason I need to make a decision – and it will be a permanent decision, not just one game.”
